Use snaping after you configure the z/OS mainframe and the local SNA subsystem, and before you configure TRS or the ACSLIB. Use the -C, -M, and -R parameters to test each connection—one at a time—that you will use when you do configure TRS or the ACSLIB. The connections are defined in the server configuration and at the z/OS mainframe.
The following command tests the connection called “SYBLU01.” The mode is “SYBMODE,” and the remote LU is called “TESTCICS.”
Replace the italicized example parameter values with the correct connection, mode and remote_LU values for your site, in this example:
For HP-UX, HP Itanium, Sun Solaris, Windows:
snaping -CSYBLU01 -MSYBMODE -RTESTCICS
For IBM RISC System/6000:
snaping -CSYBLU01 -MSYBMODE
